The effects of the 2020 pandemic on the Latin-American region: a thorough before-after analysis. From a deep dependency on an extractive export oriented accumulation based on expropriation and privatization of the commons and of public investment to a markets' financialization of foreign wealth; what follows a global pandemic alongside a huge loss/out-flow of money is hard pressure on states' balance-sheets, liquidation, deprecation of local currencies, risk of defaults. It looks bleak but once again, solutions and decisions are there to be taken.

Comment from our editors:

A good regional analysis for an aware post-pandemic decision-making policy.

Economist and politician Costas Lapavitsas: presents differing theoretical definitions of financialization, namely from Marxist and Post-Keynesian thinkers and compares their approaches. By presenting pattern and features of the economic and financial crisis, he interprets the latter as a crisis of financialization. Lapavitsas emphasizes his arguments by presenting data from the U.S. and Germany on the transformation of business, banks and households.

It is fiercely debated when exactly the growth set off and what the drivers of Indian growth were. Scott Alexander summarises some of the recent literature on this question, demonstrating that not only the liberalisation policies of the 90s might be the driver of the take-off, but potentially public investments, political developments or cultural shifts.

Was ist unter Krise und was unter multipler Krise zu verstehen? Ulrich Brand erläutert, wie unterschiedliche Krisen – wie die Finanz- & Wirtschaftskrise, die Krise der Ökologie oder der Reproduktion - zusammenhängen und diskutiert Ursachen dieser mutliplen Krise mit dem vom ihm geprägtem Begriff der imperialen Produktions- und Lebensweise. Anschließend erwägt Brand, wie Wege aus der Krise aussehen könnten und greift dabei Konzepte wie degrowth und sozial-ökologische Transformation auf.
